I
felt a wave of sadness as I read the headlines Sunday morning. “Pearl Harbor 70 Years Ago, The Last
Witnesses” was the front page headline of the Virginian Pilot. The youngest
sailors and soldiers present during the attack on Pearl Harbor are some of our
oldest veterans. My father, Whit Criswell Bryan, was one of those young
sailors.
On page
8 of today’s Virginian Pilot Magazine is 89 year old Pearl Harbor survivor
Bob Brunner of Norfolk. He and my father were stationed together at the Mobile
Naval Hospital #2. They both arrived at the hospital site on December 1, 1941
and, as found on the muster below, both left Pearl Harbor in September 1943.

Dad
died in 2001, but later that year his name, along with Bob Brunner’s name, was
added to Pearl Harbor Memorial at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek.
